Hello everybody,

If you exported your car to Antigua and Barbuda, were there any formalities that needed to be completed beforehand? What were they?

What is the best way to export your car? Is there a limit on the number of vehicles, or perhaps the age of the vehicle? Are there limits on emissions or emission controls in Antigua and Barbuda?

What are the expected costs of exporting a car? In your opinion, is it worth it?

Once you arrived in Antigua and Barbuda, what were the applicable taxes? What was the customs process like?

How do you go about registering an imported car in Antigua and Barbuda?

Is it best to buy a car once you have arrived or to bring your car with you, in your opinion?

We look forward to hearing from you!

You really don't need a car.
Find a taxi driver or two that you like.
Give 'em $50 and they'll be at your beck and call 24 hours a day.
We stayed a couple of months at Jolly Harbour testing the area to see if we truly want to retire there. And easily survived with taxis and the bus service which can be quite entertaining. We gave the taxi driver a $20 tip on the trip from the airport, he gave us his card told us to call him anytime. We did. And rarely had to wait more than 1/2 hour.
